In addition to the reconstructed roadway, the project includes replacement of storm sewers, some water mains, street lighting, and sidewalks, according to a press release from Bay City officials. The project is a joint effort of the city, Federal Highway Administration and Michigan Department of Transportation.

The project is schedule for completion on Friday, Nov. 14.

CRS/Shaw Contracting was the lowest bidder for the project, with a total of $1,163,680.40, said Public Works Director David Harran

During the course of the reconstruction, visitor and handicap parking is to remain available on the west side of Bay City Hall via entry and exit at the Washington Street entrance — between the Bay County Historical Museum and City Hall.

Additional directional signage is to be posted to assist motorists.

Initially, it was expected the project would cull 31 parking spaces. However, the Bay City Commission in February unanimously approved an amended plan that is to result in the loss of about half as many spaces.
